At Calvary Church our vision is to see the Body of Christ fully alive and walking in the grace and truth of God’s word. As we consider the life and work of Jesus we become aware of his desire to continually seek the Father and do His will. Jesus communed with His Father regularly and His prayer for us as believers (John 15) was that we would do the same. As we seek the Father and dwell in His pres
ence through prayer and intercession we become one with Him in Spirit; our hearts become one with his and we become the aroma of Christ and the fragrance of the knowledge of him to those around us. (2Cor. 2:14)
The bible instructs us to put on and to take up our offensive and defensive weapons and stand firm praying in the spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests and to keep on praying for all the saints. (Eph. 6)
We are urged to pray for our leaders (1Tim 2:1); to pray without ceasing (1Th 5:17); to knock, seek and ask (Mt 7:7); to present our requests to God through prayer (Phil 4:6); devote ourselves to prayer (Col 4:2); and to pray in faith (James 5:15)
The prayer ministry at Calvary Church is the first line of defense for leadership, the services, the ministries of the church, and for the people who attend. Our purpose is to pray in line with the word of God and in submission to our leadership for the pastors as they preach the word of God, the leaders and helpers as they serve, the children as they learn, and the people as they hear the word of God. We are to intercede for those who are lost, discouraged and in bo***ge and pray prayers for them to be saved, encouraged, restored and set free.
